I think it's damn stupid to buy iPhone with BTC from any online store due to 2 reasons:

- How trustworthy can it be? And even if it is, what will be the custom duty and other excluded taxes (which may make it cost you more than double the price)?
- What if you are scammed? You won't get any help from anybody except just share your experience and save others. Why not buy it with fiat over official Apple online stores and save yourself from getting scammed? Someone said you may regret later and that's actually true, whether you get your iPhone or not with BTC, you'll definitely cry later when that exact amount of BTC will be worth thousands of USD and you won't have them on hand.

It isn't all just pegged to the kind of optimism that you expect around crypto when everything looks just so recovering, because as it hit that 5-months high, the Tether issue showed up which created an environment of FUD and made BTC to drop almost 6% in just a few minutes. The thing is, BTC still looks to be in a very critical condition and until it doesn't cross $6300, it's not good enough to expect to long over this beast because a breakout under $5k will definitely throw it towards $4800 - 4500 areas. There's one more news coming from India too that they're probably going to ban usage of cryptocurrencies here completely (which I think that 99.9% is a lie) and this also created too much stress in the markets because India is a very big economy and has got many more countries following it, so I believe that an outright ban here could result in having those following countries getting involved in either banning or reframing their regulations towards crypto.

Why can't it be? Blockchain has many more uses than just confirming the ^transactions^ quick, and everything that relates to data and especially databases (just like it does while producing blocks) needs blockchain and can empower it in a different way if the one implementing it knows better on how to set blockchain into this genre and get things going, then I believe that limiting blockchain to just a few uses doesn't seem to be fair enough in your thoughts.

The best thing would be when we'd be able to send/tip our coins via the chat itself (just like a feature in Parjar over telegram but with limited coins). I'd love to be able to transfer cryptocurrencies through such chatting and even via PM to someone instead of even visiting my wallet. As Facebook is being buried down into too many cases out there and used to the No.1 social media engine, this will also give a boost to the social media platforms like Steemit, Sapien, Sola, Indorse and many available with their own in-built cryptocurrency being given in rewards. While we're too concerned over not giving our identity for a few bucks (even if it's a KYC over blockchain.com for a few $ worth of XLM), what will influence us anymore to use social media like Facebook any more knowing that they're just playing with our privacy?

I can't say anything over biggest crime, but I can talk about criminals. It's disgusting when we get scammed right?
At times when it's not just the scammer's fault and we're equally responsible for not putting extra efforts to understand things completely before keeping our money at an exchange or even a wallet (we call them secure and then fall for the same). So, instead of just blaming the scam participants, we should also consider ourselves being responsible for becoming a victim. I know and totally understand that sometimes we may go unlucky while having our funds intentionally for profits over an exchange, but what if you've kept your money over these exchanges for no reason (like no trading and just kept it there thinking that you've stored it at a safe place). I know what will be coming to me - higher fees, right? Well, if you've been trading enough you shouldn't be bothered withdrawing at least once a week or just take 50% withdrawn after you double your coins there (this one's for specific category traders who can actually turn it into fortunes for them).

I know a person who can actually help you out in dealing with this but first, you'll need to show him that you've actually got funds with you which we call as PoF here (Proof of Funds). I highly doubt that being a brand new account, you're actually capable to buy even 10 BTC or what? OTC is the only best option for you of you're a genuine party there.

Loan repaid in full as considered over PM by both of us to adjust the amount. Thanks shasan and Darkstar_
Shasan, please confirm this here that it is closed now and that this loan is repaid in full.

That's kinda true, I've checked the sources and found your statement to be correct.

https://icodrops.com/fetch-ai/
When they launched FET during token sale, it was worth $0.0867, but even during its opening the token started off with a bang with around $0.55 and it's still worth ~$0.2

https://icodrops.com/celer-network/
When they launched CELR during token sale, it was worth $0.0067, but even during its opening the token started off with a bang with around $0.12 and it's still worth ~$0.02

Are you seriously sure you've lost your money?
Or lost the FOMO opportunity, and now started to spread FUD here thinking you'd be able affect its value?

That's stupid, these projects have just used Binance as a platform to launch their tokens through sale so what has Binance, being a medium to purchase these coins, has to do anything with it? How are you so sure about Binance targeting low cap users to get their coins? How can they even get the coins? Those BTC go to the project owners and the fee part that Binance and the ICO party agrees for, only goes to Binance and they just list it, that's it.

Speak things after using your brains man, it's shit you're talking and common sense that I'm talking here!

My fellow brother was looking to mine BTC through AWS and as well tried his hands on mining BTC with his laptop. He made me laugh a lot when he told me that he got only a few Satoshis while mining through his PC and that's when I told him that he cannot earn anything through such hardware and needs to buy something extremely expensive to mine.

I've heard that Bitmain guys have announced about their upcoming mining beasts loaded with 7 nm chips. What do you think will they cost? I've come to know that they might be delivering around 48-50 TH/s at nearly 1500 Watts which looks quite impressive. Don't ask me about the electricity costs, it's free at his place.

On the other ✋, I'm aware of few of those cloud mining and some rig rental websites like https://www.nicehash.com
I checked there and it pretty much gives almost the same gains as invested per day + very less amounts in profit.

So, during these times when Bitmain is going to launch something which may actually boost difficulty to an all new higher level, should I suggest him to take risk of getting a rig online on rent, or should I ask him to wait for Bitmain to release those miners and ask him to purchase them and mine? Can anyone predict the possible outcome when mining through their upcoming hardware and when will he ROI?

Your welcome, looking forward for more business!

Those who want to buy Amazon AWS SES accounts with 50k daily limits, should immediately contact me through telegram/PM me here.

Come on, think.
Did it change in 2017-18 period when BTC was at its peak?
The question should be:
Will an increase in BTC price affect the gamblers?
Because gambling industry will always be in profit due to the house edge and gamblers will need to think on their betting strategies and amounts that they used to gamble with, before.

Holy shit, some bloody a$$hole named Edward with no username and "unknown" mobile number contacted me with the exact same purpose for which he asked me to register at bittradex.net, would also like to mention that I didn't even get a confirmation email and just needed to change the password through forgot password link and I logged in 
He then "transferred" (here: credited) me 1.84 BTC and when I tried to withdraw them to help him out, the exchange asked me to deposit 0.02 BTC first as they need to ^verify^ the address before sending the coins. I even tried to transfer back those coins to that bastard, but the exchange was asking to buy some sort of "premium access" in order to do that. I immediately blocked that guy but forgot to report the whole incident here. Thanks a lot OP, you saved many. 

First, he's not the one alone who runs the whole crypto industry and hey, he's not even Satoshi (or Godfather of Bitcoin).
Second, aye come on, why many so bear threads poppin up lately? Just to make everyone believe that BTC will remain ^dead^ this whole year? Well, all those fundamentals, TA and blah blah are indicating positive signs and looks like institutions have already taken their positions by buying BTC at almost 1/7th its ATH. Ya all must be getting news that 1000s of 10000s of BTC being accumulated through OTC deals almost every single day.

I'd suggest you to use social networks more instead of giving more bounties through signature campaign because Twitter, Telegram, Facebook and YouTube are 4 of the most powerful advertisement portals and if you manage to get quality users making high quality posts/videos and put it there, you'll definitely get great exposure, even far more than what you can get by advertising it at Bitcointalk alone. I'm not saying that this forum gets you nothing, but you should definitely focus on where you will be gaining bigger amount of audience from.

Why to choose a single exchange only when each of them have their own prices? Why not use services like preev or coindesk which gives you an average rate of BTC in USD?
People mostly use Bitmex, Binance and Bitfinex, so if you're still going to choose a specific exchange, go for one of them. As well, will your cart service also have a charge back or "Ask a refund" option if for any reason, a customer is not satisfied with the services/goods provided?

Is this thread mainly about advertising your ^proposal^ or what?
Anyways, banks and crypto? Seriously?
I've never thought such combination would be possible (at least they won't give crypto the degree of being a currency). Banks are allergic to crypto, they will show that they're supporting but they will accumulate just in order to throw this thing out of the reach of common people, as who would like to lose the pre-dominancy they've gained since ages. The power, the control over a country's finance makes banks very very strong in their genre and they'd never want to lose it to cryptocurrencies.

Definitely a yes from me, but if you're not going to entertain signature campaigns, will you also not be supporting bounties (as they're seen more as a job and very time-consuming if done for too many projects).

Your intention is great to keep scammers away as well as don't pay lazy guys who can't really manage to do anything but waste employers time, but trust me you'll really need good space for that forum to work smooth as if you're expecting people from Bitcointalk to hover at your place, you must be knowing what amount of audience you'll be entertaining and the hardest job after that will be to keep your forum free from those who won't really give anything after having their work done. It'd be great if you hire a reputed member of this forum at your place to work as an escrow and keep some funds from employers and release it to employees after the job done (although, even this is a win-win for employers as they can say that their given work hasn't been completed as expected and they get their BTC back).

Imma smokin weed, don't tell me what I did
Don't show ya pity, it's all about anonymity
Ya points are baseless, giving us all too much stress
As electrifying as joule, come everyone let's f*ck Thule

 
FTFY. And come on, even if the vendor chooses to remain behind the scenes but still providing better services, I don't mind playing at their door. If you think it's too much, why not stop even those dark market trades?
